Inc. 500 Mortgage Firm Acquired

 

Feb. 5, 2007 -- CoreLogic, a Sacramento, Calif-based mortgage risk management firm, is being merged with First American Real Estate Solutions, a real estate data service, the companies jointly announced Monday.

The merger is the largest in a series of recent acquisitions by First American, which will retain majority ownership, the company said.
